There hasn't been a 2 point/game player in the WHL for 13 years. And while there's no guarantee he finishes at this pace, he's doing a fine job.
The WHL is the more defensive-minded of the 3 CHL leagues. Bartschi leads the entire CHL in points/game, and it would likely be higher in either of the other two.
He's the best player in the CHL right now. And yeah, while putting up numbers in the CHL won't always translate in the NHL, it's better to put up big numbers than small numbers, in any possible case.
